Why not use a dehumidifier?Dehumidifiers are designed to operate in the room in which they are placed. Generally a home with condensation has the problem in more than one room. This means it will be necessary to move the unit around or buy more than one which works out expensive. They are generally noisy which can be a nuisance at night, they consume a great deal of energy (250watts) so are energy negative. They also need constant emptying. They will not ventilate your home or solve the source of the problem.
Adequate ventilation will control the production of condensation. The Vericure
Condensation Control System which has been solving severe condensation problems for over 20 years, achieves this air change by gently introducing filtered air into the living space and creating a very slight positive pressure. The result of this positive pressure is to expel all the moisture-laden air out through leakage points that are found in all properties unlike leaving windows open, which creates drafts and a security problem.
Generally, lofts are warmer than the outside air. On average, throughout the year, night and day, this equates to around 3°C. However, although 3°C is the average, the variation in loft temperature is huge, over 30°C, depending on solar gain.
Many central heating systems are programmed to switch off around 9.00am and switch on again at around 5.00pm, perhaps because the occupants are out to work, but this is exactly the time when the sun can be shining and the Vericure 2000 House takes full advantage of this to build up some warmth in the home. Turning up the heating may make the problem worse as stated previously, warm air will hold even more water vapour!
This means that when the heating system switches on it uses much less fuel to bring the home up to temperature. This is a patented and valuable feature that is unique to the Vericure 2000 House and will obviously stay that way. In addition you will find that the diffuser re-circulates the heat at ceiling lvel on your landing. This is a valuable feature. During the summer months the temperature in your loft can be excessive and it would be most uncomfortable to bring this heat into the home. The Vericure 2000 House will sense this condition and automatically move into standby mode. The unit will commence again when the temperature reduces to an acceptable level.

The unit is about the size of a cooker hood, is fitted discreetly as possible and has ducting to the outside air. Low power consumption, as little as 8 watts. High efficiency grade G3 air filter which needs a clean every year. This unit not only re-distributes heat from ceiling level, it has an integral heater with manual over-ride to temper the incoming air and help heat the home.
For those properties which do not have a suitable layout for a Vericure House or Flat unit then we would recommend our tailor made range of extraction fans suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. As most of the moisture generated in a property is from these areas then it makes sense to remove the moisture as soon as it forms.
